Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the alleged murder of singer David Burke, died from multiple stab wounds, according to a report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office. The victim's dismembered body was discovered in the trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke in September, after she'd been missing for nearly a year. The medical examiner's cause of death was determined on Dec. 9, 2025, but a court order prevented it from being made public. Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Odey Ukpo expressed regret about not being able to release information about the case to the public and the victim's family until now.
